The approach decodes TrueHD and Atmos positional data, then renders a fixed speaker layout (listed as 9.1.6) in a format the Apple TV 4K can output. The current method requires open source software and a Mac to set up, and the developer has proposed extending the Nuvio media player with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to do:<\/strong> Wait for an official or app-based implementation before relying on it; do not attempt the manual Mac-based setup unless you understand the audio path described, since the source describes it as an elaborate workaround rather than a supported feature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/televisions\/streaming-devices\/someone-got-blu-ray-quality-dolby-atmos-truehd-lossless-sound-working-on-the-apple-tv-4k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">techradar.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 security issues from the last 24 hours: Apple TV 4K lossless Dolby TrueHD playback achieved via open source workaround<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":783,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784\/revisions\/785"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managedt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
